PlayStation "4" Teaser Reveals Modern Warfare 2 in 3D?

[Zips]

Update: It looks like the ad is fake, both for 3D on the PS3 and for a "PS4." Lovely.

Original: Marketing. Love it or hate it, it's just one of those things that will never go away so long as products need to be sold. 3D tech on the PlayStation 3 is no different. Apparently, Sony has decided to "tease" gamers with the PlayStation 4 in this "leaked" trailer for the console. In reality, the PS4 reveal is just a very clever way of promoting the 3D tech being added to the PS3 tomorrow.

What was that near the end? Was that a teaser for 3D tech support coming to Modern Warfare 2? Why yes, that's certainly what it seemed like. Obviously, nothing has been confirmed just yet, but we'll be sure to let you know all about it once it is announced.

Sony Confirms PS4 Viral Video Is Fake

If you pay attention to the video game blogosphere, you may have witnessed a couple of mysterious YouTube videos floating around from a YouTube channel named "SCELabs." The videos claimed to be leaked teasers for an impending PlayStation 4 announcement. Guess what? They aren't.

Sony hardware PR representative Al de Leon broke it down for us in the simplest way possible: "I can confirm that this video is not from SCE [Sony Computer Entertainment]."

This isn't a huge surprise considering the unlikelihood of Sony introducing a next-generation console right when they're attempting to revitalize the PS3 with the new Move controller. And that's not even mentioning the still-shaky economy, which would make pushing expensive new hardware a bit risky right now.

Some writers had theorized that the "PS4" logo could be a new marketing scheme to push the motion-sensing and 3D capabilities being added to the PlayStation 3, particularly since the latest video seems to focus on 3D gaming, but apparently that is not the case.

I've included the latest SCELabs video below so you can check out what got people so excited. Add this video to the already long and growing list of crazy pre-E3 rumors that have turned out to be false.
